Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | CH1+ | input | Positive differential analog input of channel 1, with a usable range of VSS-0.3V to VDD+0.3V. |
| 2 | CH1- | input | Negative differential analog input of channel 1, which can be tied to VSS for single-ended operation, with a range of VSS-0.3V to VDD+0.3V. |
| 3 | VDD | power_in | Positive supply pin, specified for 2.7V to 5.5V, with a bypass of about 0.1 µF ceramic to ground plus a recommended 10 µF tantalum in parallel. |
| 4 | SDA | bidirectional | Bidirectional open-drain serial data pin of the I2C interface that needs a pull-up resistor to VDD (5 kΩ to 10 kΩ for standard and fast modes, under 1 kΩ for high-speed mode). |
| 5 | SCL | input | Serial clock pin of the I2C interface (slave only, open-drain N-channel) that needs a pull-up resistor to VDD. |
| 6 | VSS | power_in | Ground pin and current return path, to be connected to a ground plane (preferably analog ground) through a low-impedance connection. |
| 7 | CH2+ | input | Positive differential analog input of channel 2, with a usable range of VSS-0.3V to VDD+0.3V. |
| 8 | CH2- | input | Negative differential analog input of channel 2, which can be tied to VSS for single-ended operation, with a range of VSS-0.3V to VDD+0.3V. |
